I recently signed an offer at Nomura for 2023, however, have been weary of the firm's criticism on here. Is Nomura not a good place to intern at? Would Investment Banking at Nomura on my resume be frowned upon? Really appreciate your views!

Don't be fooled by the prestige whoring on this site, yeah its true they have lower dealflow but honestly its still a great credential on your resume and if you go full time there you will still be making a crap load of money out of undergrad (just slightly less than the guy at the EB/top BB). I can speak from personal experience because I work at a similar "lower tier" bank, the ranking of your bank matters in exactly one context-- on-cycle private equity recruiting. You are not going to be getting a sweet PE gig straight out of Nomura unless you are the most well connected dude out there. However at my bank people seem to have no problem lateraling to more highly ranked banks and plenty do private credit or random MM private equity shops. I've heard Nomura doesn't have the greatest culture but honestly people on this site make the biggest generalizations, once you hit the desk you'll realize culture is primarily driven by your immediate team so you could get lucky.
